Nolan Adams has written a book, and made a video of pulling a Vette body. You can get the book and tape from any of the big catalog companies like Eckler, Corvette America, Mid America, etc....

I think I paid $19 for the book. It has a checklist which was very beneficial for me. In the book, he also had plans for building a body dolly.

Wait a minute, I thought you were driving this up here Saturday. Are you making it a convertible?

I know gas prices are high Eddie, but isn't this a little extreme to save on gas?

OK Ed, put your tools down and step away from the car ... before someone gets hurt.

Thanks for the links!!

I printed a copy from the last link to put in a notebook that I can refer to when I drop the body back on my Vette.
